Interview: Malinda Beckham & Curtis Barber of BUG at DIRT DOGS
by Brett Cullum - May 14, 2025

So I think, first and foremost, Bug, believe it or not, is a love story. Without loneliness and without loss and without vulnerability, we don't get to the place that we need to be, where this crater of ache exists inside Agnes, which opens her up to Peter. Which really is the beginning of the infestation.

Review: MELVILLE AND HAWTHORNE at Thunderclap Productions
by Brett Cullum - Aug 3, 2024

Review: THE PILLOWMAN at DIRT DOGS THEATRE COMPANY
by Brett Cullum - Mar 10, 2024

Malinda L. Beckham has always been a master of directing testosterone-fueled plays where men fight and abuse each other. She and her cast bravely take on Martin McDonagh’s script and make wise decisions. The pace is breakneck, never allowing the viewer to wallow much in the muck. She brings out the black comedy and never seems to fear that aspect.

Review: MISERY Hobbles Along at Dirt Dogs
by Brett Cullum - Mar 7, 2023

That Dirt Dogs would choose MISERY for their “season of love” makes perfect sense. As a company they have made a name for themselves by creating plays fueled by testosterone laden energy and provocative rough language. There is an intensity and violence that suggests MISERY would be a perfect project for them, and indeed this production proves that assumption mostly correct.

Review: COYOTE ON A FENCE at Dirt Dogs Theatre
by Brett Cullum - Oct 31, 2022

This is a morally complex piece of theater, and luckily the cast is up to the challenge of bringing these people to life without judgment or any trace of hesitation. The language, the situations, the truths, are all difficult matters that have to be handled directly and confidently.
